15. 15 UM-ReadMe.ppt Average OTS (AOTS) A notional concept It is the average number of times that each audience reached is supposed to have received opportunities to see Gross OTS = AOTS Reach

16. 16 Average frequency / Average OTS Frequency is a companion statistic to reach which tells the planner the average number of times that audience members were exposed to programs or magazines or newspapers within a 4 week period. Measure of repetition indicating to what extent audience members were exposed to the same vehicle or group of vehicles. GRPs or total duplicated audience Frequency = ------------------------------------------ Reach

The amount of frequency required to convert a prospect into a customer. Effective reach The % of audience reached at the above mentioned effective frequency

33. 33 UM-ReadMe.ppt Cost per Rating Point Cost that we pay to get one rating point. Cost GRPs Rs. 50 L 500 GRPs = 10000 CPRP Cost GRPs (normalised to 10”) Rs. 150 L 500 * 3 = 10000 CPRP
